Today I once again saw Norwegian EPIC for the third time since she's been in Miami and OASIS an hour later. Here are some pictures of Carnival Destiny and EPIC taken last week as well as EPIC, Carnival Destiny, Carnival Liberty, Grandeur of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas.

Yes, great images.

You would think in this modern age than 'tank tests' and computer simulations would reveal an 'issue' with possible life-boat damage. However it took a 'rough' crossing to establish the problem.

Where/when did they add the 'deflectors'? I recall seeing an image of work being done?

Nice pictures, thanks for posting! When scrolling through the page it's amazing how many edges are on those ships and then you hit the Grandeur which ends up looking surprisingly nice and modern, even after the ship above her (always though she looked kind of old till now). Some nice curves and sloped fore section on her, only flaw is the awkward rock wall installation. Not sure she can compare to that Oasis though.
